This section describes how to use EVWEB for administrative tasks, such as creating and managing throttling configuration policies.

This section discusses the following topics:

Overview

Throttling configuration is a feature that enables you to administer a throttling policy. The throttling policy contains various parameters that can be configured. Based on the throttling configuration and event subscriptions, you receive alerts for events generated on a single managed system.

A throttling policy can be associated with more than one subscription. However, one subscription cannot be associated with more than one throttling policy. The throttling policy and a subscription can be created independent of each other. For more information on throttling policy, see Table 3-1.

Creating Throttling Configuration

You can create a throttling configuration policy and associate it with an event subscription. The HP Advised subscriptions are associated with the default throttling configuration policy defined by HP.

You can create a throttling configuration in both EMS and SFM hardware monitoring mode. However, In the EMS hardware monitoring mode, the association of a throttling configuration with a subscription is not effective. By design, in the EMS hardware monitoring mode, EVWEB associates the default throttling configuration with a subscription.

Creating a Throttling Configuration Using GUI

To create a throttling configuration, complete the following steps:

  1. Repeat steps 1-5 from “Launching EVWEB for Administration”.

  2. Select Manage Throttling Configurations in the action pane on the top right corner of the page.

    The Manage throttling configuration page is displayed.

  3. Select Create throttling config in the action pane on the top right corner of the page.

    The Create throttling config page is displayed.

  4. Provide appropriate information in the fields present in the Create throttling config page.

    NOTE: The throttling configuration name must be unique. The throttling policy file name must contain the absolute path of the file and the throttling configuration policy strings.

  5. To view the command line equivalent of creating throttling configuration using GUI, click Preview on the Create throttling config page. This step is optional.

  6. Select Create on the Create throttling page.

    EVWEB creates the throttling configuration and displays a confirmation message.

  7. Click OK on the confirmation message window.

For more information on creating a throttling configuration using the HP SMH GUI, select Help on the action pane of the Create throttling config page.

Creating a Throttling Configuration Using CLI

To create an throttling configuration using CLI, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

# evweb subscribe -T -c -g <throttling configuration name>\ -p<throttling configuration policy file name>

Where:

-T

is an option used to administer a throttling configuration.

-c

is a switch used to create a throttling configuration.

-g

is a switch used to specify a name for the throttling configuration.

-p

is a switch used to specify the path to the throttling configuration policy file.

A message stating that the execution of the evweb subscribe command was successful is displayed on the screen.

You can also use the following switches with the -T option:

  • (-l)

  • (-s <throttling configuration description>)

NOTE: The -g switch is mandatory with the -c, -m, -d, and the -l switches. The -p switch is mandatory if you use the -c switch.

For more information on creating throttling configuration using CLI, see evweb_subscribe(1).

Copying Throttling Configuration Policy to a File

You can copy an existing throttling configuration to a new file. You can modify the parameters in the new file to create a new throttling configuration policy file. You can use this policy file to create and modify a throttling configuration.

NOTE: In the EMS hardware monitoring mode, only the default throttling configuration is effective.

Copying Throttling Configuration Policy to a File Using GUI

To copy an existing throttling configuration policy to a file, complete the following steps:

  1. Repeat steps 1-5 from “Launching EVWEB for Administration”.

  2. Select Manage Throttling Configurations in the action pane on the top right corner of the page.

    The Manage throttling configuration page is displayed.

  3. Select Copy throttling config policy to file in the action pane on the top right corner of the page.

    The Copy throttling config policy to file page is displayed.

  4. Provide appropriate information in the fields present in the Copy throttling config policy to file page.

  5. Select Create on the Copy throttling config policy to file page.

    EVWEB displays a confirmation message.

  6. Click OK on the confirmation message window.

For more information on copying and creating a throttling configuration policy to a file, select Help on the action pane of the Copy throttling config policy to file page.

Copying Throttling Configuration Policy to a File Using CLI

To copy a throttling configuration policy to a file using CLI, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

# evweb subscribe -T -y -g<throttling configuration name>\ -p <throttling configuration policy file name>

Where:

-T

is an option used to administer a throttling configuration.

-y

is an option used to yank the throttling configuration policy from the throttling configuration specified by the -g option.

-g

is a switch used to specify the name of a throttling configuration, whose policy file you want to modify.

-p

is a switch used to specify the name of the new policy file.

A message stating that the execution of the evweb subscribe command was successful is displayed on the screen.

For more information on copying a throttling configuration policy to a file using the CLI, see evweb_subscribe(1).

Modifying Throttling Configuration

You can modify a throttling configuration by modifying the criteria in the Modify Throttling Config page. However, the fields that you are allowed to modify depend on the type of throttling configuration you select.

You cannot modify HP Known throttling configurations. In all other throttling configurations, you cannot modify the name of the throttling configuration.

In the EMS hardware monitoring mode, by design, EVWEB associates the default throttling configuration with the subscription. As a result, user defined throttling configurations are not effective.

Modifying a Throttling Configuration Using GUI

To modify a throttling configuration, complete the following steps:

  1. Repeat steps 1-5 from “Launching EVWEB for Administration”.

  2. Select Manage Throttling Configurations in the action pane on the top right corner of the page.

    The Manage throttling configuration page is displayed.

  3. Select Modify throttling config in the action pane on the top right corner of the page.

    The Modify Throttling Config page is displayed.

  4. Modify the required fields.

    NOTE: You cannot modify the name of the throttling configuration.

  5. Select Modify on the Modify Throttling Config page.

    EVWEB modifies the throttling configuration and displays a confirmation message.

  6. Click OK on the confirmation message window.

For more information on modifying a throttling configuration using the HP SMH GUI, select Help on the action pane of the Modify Throttling Config page.

Modifying a Throttling Configuration Using CLI

To modify a throttling configuration using CLI, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:

# evweb subscribe -T -m -g<throttling configuration name>\ -p <throttling configuration policy file name> -s\ <throttling configuration description>

Where:

-T

is an option used to administer a throttling configuration.

-m

is a switch used to modify the throttling configuration.

-g

is a switch used to specify the name of a throttling configuration that you want to modify.

-p

is a switch used to specify the path to the throttling configuration policy file.

-s

is a switch used to provide description for a throttling configuration.

A message stating that the execution of the evweb subscribe command was successful is displayed on the screen.

NOTE: The -g switch is mandatory with the -m switch.

You can also use the following switches with the -T option:

  • (-l)

  • -h

For more information on modifying a throttling configuration using the CLI, see evweb_subscribe(1).

Deleting Throttling Configuration

You must periodically delete throttling configurations that are not required. You can delete a single throttling configuration or multiple throttling configurations at a time.

Deleting a Throttling Configuration Using GUI

To delete a throttling configuration, complete the following steps:

  1. Repeat steps 1-5 from “Launching EVWEB for Administration”.
